Windjammers
Split-second disc returns and supers demand reflexes

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Smash Bros.
Edgeguard and tech-chase guessing against adapting humans decides stocks.
Windjammers
Human opponents bait, feint, and adapt every rally
Variance2 vs 1
Super Smash Bros. leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Super Smash Bros.
Item spawns add randomness; tournament rules strip most of it.
Windjammers
Almost no hidden information on the court
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Smash Bros.
Stage positioning and percent-based kill setups are learnable.
Windjammers
Character matchups and angle theory are studyable
